The revised PS recommendations will provide a single, unified set of recommendations to serve as the basis for HIV and STD PS programs. However, developing recommendations is only one part of the process. To ensure that the recommendations gain traction in the field, a dissemination and implementation strategic plan has been developed to guide marketing, training, technical assistance, and capacity building. Steps taken to develop the dissemination and implementation plan will be reviewed and key findings from the process will be discussed.
